I had a scan today and they only found 6 follicles they are upping my stimms(menopur)and reducing my bursulin,does anyone know if people have acheived pregnancy when not many eggs are retrieved

I only have one ovary, and they were able to retrieve 10 eggs. luckily all of them fertilized and three were transfered in last Thursday. (in great condition)

Have you considered ICSI - our Dr. recommended this due to the lower amount of eggs? It increases the odds of fertilization.

I know the pressure of feeling like you have a limited number of resources, but I am very optimistic that a pregnancy is achievable for you and me.

My neighbor only retrieved 3 eggs on her first IVF. The RE suggested not going through with the IVF since there were so few, but they decided to go for it and got prego with twins who are now 2 years old.

It can happen for you too!!!!!

Try not to lose hope. 6 follies is not such a bad amount. I know it feels like nothing is ever going well for us but I do believe too that anything is possible. I wish you lots of baby dust. We would all make such wonderful mothers!

Just me,
Thanks for your story. I don't stimulate well either and your story gives me lots of hope! Thank you so much for sharing. How are things going for you lately? I hope you are doing well.

Thanks for your replies,I don't feel too bad know but just feel mad when they started investigations they said it was just dh's problem of low sperm count so we thought at least I am fertile(all my blood test were v.good)but then when we started treatment it turns out I have endomitriosis,I have had hardly any side affects on meds I just wonder if they gave me enough

Tylerb,
Is this your first IVF attempt? If it is then just know that sometimes it takes a first cycle for them to get your protocol right. I know it is really frustrating. The doctors don't want to just give you major doses of stims if they don't know how you react to them. You can hyperstimulate and that can be very serious. Try to hang in there. It's more about the quality of eggs than the quantity. Don't lose hope. I am sure everything will be ok. Keep us posted Tylerb. We are rooting for you!

Thank you so much for your kind replies,I feel a lot better know even though it looks like ther is only 4 possible eggs,I am doing something called egg share and I might just donate these eggs and start another cycle straight away and this time keep all the eggs myself(Itis a way to fund IVF)
I am also doing ICSI apparently according to all my blood test I am normal(whats that)but it turns out I have mild endo even though specialist said it would not affect fertility,I think I need more stimms and less bursulein I had no side affects at all

Hi Tylerb

I just had to say that I too had very few eggs. I ended up with only 5 at the age of 29. Only 2 fertilized and they transfered them both on day 3. They were only a 3-cell and a 4-cell at that time and were called "very poor quality" They may have *looked* that way but you can ask my 7 yr old son if he is poor quality. lol

Just saying, it can happen despite what things may look like sometimes. Don't give up hope!
